[INDENT]If so, how can Maryland defend a $50 million fee to leave the ACC...

[COLOR=#0000ff]They can't. And, they negotiated behind the ACC's back, and, the B10 demanded a confidentiality agreement. I wonder why nobody has really challenged the right to those records through an Open Records Request?[/COLOR]

...the ACC does not cover travel and that $20-$30 million travel subsidy is a university whoring itself...so much for academic integrity; problem is this subsidy can also snare other universities to consider the B1G...

[COLOR=#0000ff]You are 100 percent correct. Maryland whored itself out. The big difference between UMD and the other schools generally thought to be in the B10's crosshairs...UNC, UVA, and, GT...is that those schools' athletic departments are not financial disasters from indiscriminate overspending.[/COLOR]

...realignment is business...and I hope that cable carriage for BTN goes down the drain...[/INDENT]

It would be a gross mistake for the ACC attorneys to fail to request the records you mention, along with others.  It is safe to asssume these records have been requested and any confidentiality agreement between the B1G and UMD is not validly imposed upon a court.  UMD will either turn over the records or pay the exit fee.
 
The travel expenses fronted by the B1G may very well be hush money to get UMD to settle quickly.  JUST SPECULATION, no inside information.
